Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner v12.6 (Windows/Linux)

[_AnT_]

Hello !

Is is normal speed for Windows 7 64 / Clymore's 10.0 V   ?

3X R9 280X XFX

 (1) let it run for a while to get stable and full count for stats.
 (2) 215-220 ballpark is reasonable for a R9 280x from what I've seen.
 

Thank you !
It's about 30 hours working but a same speed. total 650-660. Same speed was on Clymore's 9.3 ..... why ?

P.s
Crimson driver 16.12.2
Bios Version: 280XTB16
OS: 7 64x SP1

 Try 15.12 drivers on those cards, or 16.10.1 if you have to have newer for some reason. I've not tested 16.12.2 specifically but 16.12.1 was 5-10% slower on ALL of my testing vs the other 2 versions (16.9.2 was same speed as 16.10.1 but I prefer WQHL qualified versions when possible).

Roll Back to 16.11.3 Crimson.  Total Result: 680 h/s
is it limit ?

thank you

Need Help!!!

I have an issue connecting 1x PCI raiser to my rig.  I have total 4 GPUs connected to the rig, (3 connected using 16x PCI, 1 connected using 1x PCI raiser) it recognize when 3 16x pci connected, but when 1x pci connected, No display screen comes up. I tried this when Display HDMI connected to first (closest to cpu) pci raiser.

Am I missing some thing???

I even tried replacing the 1x PCI raiser. still not recognizing, and also tried swapping GPU (to ensure GPU or Raiser is not broken).

Please help.

Go to mining treads. Mobo can not supply 4 slots . 2 is safe maximum. other 2 cards must have powered risers. Also some mobos can not use all pcee at the same time. Search about your mobo

Since my cards are undervolted I forced a constant fan speed at 50%. At that speed the rig is not too noisy. Of course it is not completely silent but I can live with that. As I said outside is very cold and snowy, so the moist from outside compensates the dry air from the fans. When the temps get normal - about and above 0 C,  I will move my rigs in one room. They are on specially designed tables with wheels (which have breaks to be stable) so I can move them easily around My only concern is the summer... Even in one room with AC they generate heat above 35 C so that a second AC in the next room is not capable of stopping the hot air.

Do you purposefully have your PSU mounted so that the heat is blown straight up into two of your GPU?

Maybe there is enough space between them but I wouldn't put my PSU under my GPUs. On the rigs I build I put them either offset to the side or behind the GPU.

Thank you so much for your response AzzAz. Appreciate it.

I have Z97 Gaming 5 Mobo with 1300wat PSU. i will try with pci raisers. Thanks again.

Damn, the increase speed is awesome but my rig is getting more and more heat and its summer here lol. Anyone did a comparison between mining zec and eth too see which one consume more energy?

I think both are nearly the same. It depends how much undervolting can take each algorithm. For me zcash is by a tiny bit less power consuming.
Currently here is a winter with -20 C outside. Inside it is +25 C because I have rigs in each room  . Excellent solution for heating the appartment  . But for the summer it is a hell. Two AC 1200 are not enough. I will need a third AC or have to figure out some way of channelling  the heat outside.

how do you fight dry air if its + 25 inside? I was thinking to use these for heating.... but it would be just too dry inside.

 Humidifier(s) or an evaporative cooler (which is basically a large-scale humidifier designed to take advantage of the cooling effect of water vaporising)

true true... but i still doubt its healthy to breathe the air which is coming from computer... theirs plastic stuff in GPU and so on. + i Have 2 kids if you live alone in the woods then maybe

zec is dead, already back to ETH for all my RX, nano stil on zec
lol, cm need big jump on new card, lets the old put on the rest

Unless you are running your gpus hot enough to BURN them, no toxic vapors will be coming off them.  Computers are extremely clean, nothing to worry about.

Both ETH and XMR are currently more profitable to mine with RX 480s.

I fired up nicehash miner (with claymore installed) earlier and found that ETH was the most profitable for me to mine even using my R9 280

The PSU is never hot. It is only for the mobo. Its fan makes a faint cool air flow, which can't harm, only help the circulation. Other PSU's are not visible in this pic. They are separate to have room for the cables.

With the electrical heating devices there is always an unpleasent smell from the electrical wire burning the dust. Also they dry the air and irritate the eyes. If you clean the dust from gpu's I don't see what can be a problem. This is the usual heat that is generated by cpu's and gpu's which can't burn anything.

Don't plug the pci-e risers and the mobo in different PSUs. You risk to fry your gear because of different voltages.

I have a similar problem with my place and the heat. Right now, my miners are heating the whole house just off the heat they are producing. I have a 6" inline fan that sucks the air out of the makeshift room and blows it into the ducked works of the house. FYI is -20+C outside. I also have a 5" intake fan that sucks cold air from outside and puts it in the small room. The house is a comfy 22C.
In the summer I was running a DC furnace fan and blowing all the air out my furnace stack and dryer vent. Even doing that the house had most of the windows open and it was +24C.

Basically what I'm trying to get at it that is this; most GPU's run at 60+C so as long as the air entering the room is less than that their will be fine. BUT the key point here is you need to get the hotter air out. You might be best to put the miners in a separate room and exhaust all the air out of the window in the room with high volume fans. Make some sort of screen for the door of the room so you have intake air. I've tried to add an AC unit but even 1300btu unit didn't even help that much and it was using 1350Watts.

v10 is a good improvement on 480's, getting 255mh stock. But I also have a bunch of 295x2's and no improvement there, getting 300mh with v10, just like 9.2 and 9.3. Anyone find similar results?

These aren't the most efficient but I wanted a bit more hash.

I am getting good results with my MintMiner:

1785 SOLs @ 1125W at the wall.  This is giving me 1.59Hashes per Watt.

My 390 and 290 are a little higher even my 270 but my 280 went from 160-170 to around 200 all stock clocks for whatever reason the 280 is -a 2 but all my other cards dont seem to care rather its -a 1 or 2 Im running win 10 pro 16.9.2 drivers and i 6 on everything but the 390 when I push it to 8 I get lower rates

Anyone else think the photo was just a giant spam post so people will click on his links to buy his miner?  Relevance to Claymore? The photo at least has no relevance. The sols/wattage maybe has some.

even the sols to wattage doesnt have any relevence really.  without knowing the cards, settings, bios and clocks they are just random numbers someone has put in a post.
